The internet really is a series of tubes


On The Vergecast: undersea cables, AI PCs, and E Ink phones

The internet runs, in vastly more ways than we realize or think about, through a series of garden-hose size tubes on the ocean floor. On this episode of The Vergecast, we talk to The Verge ’s Josh Dzieza, who has been reporting on the undersea cable world and just published a feature about some of the folks who keep it running. Then, we chat with The Verge ’s Tom Warren and Joanna Nelius about the new generation of PCs that Microsoft and others seem to think are going to be huge improvements over anything we’ve seen before.
